Very good column, Mr. Fisher. I personally donít see how anyone can vote Republican.

Mt. Pleasant

Just a question, Ed: Has anyone heard of thereís problems afoot with McLaren Health here in Mt. Pleasant? Weíve heard about multiple cuts at the hospital and Wellness Central.

I knew itíd only be a matter of time before someone would criticise the Fatherís Day article. Not surprising. Itís on objection to who-knows-what? The line of thinking for a person like that has become too typical. If you really didnít want to read it, put the paper down and walk away. But better to work on acceptance; thatís the way the world works today. Iím sure there are other examples of fatherhood, but this one was very pertinent and heartwarming. Next time you call, just complain about the price of gas. Thatís more your style. Congratulations to the fathers and their adopted children.

Mt. Pleasant

Are you kidding me? An article on a male couple who adopted two African-American children? It was wonderful. Thank you.

Isnít it weird about how the government is taking flack for invasion of privacy and listening in on phone conversations, and hereís this Snowden guy, one dude leaking very important information to our allies and our enemies? And with all of their surveillance they canít find him? Canít they get anything right? Itís kind of like the news. They never get the weather right. They just get paid to go up there and do stuff.

Mt. Pleasant

On the Fatherís Day article, Iíd say Iím a live-and-let-live guy, and I think a lot of people are, but I donít think society is ready to accept that lifestyle, and I think it was in very poor taste.

Mt. Pleasant

OMG. I knew I needed new glasses, but after looking at the crossword puzzle clues on Tuesday, Iím making that appointment right now.

Mt. Pleasant

To the caller ashamed about people not flying their flag on Flag Day: They probably wasted their money on food or housing or gas and couldnít afford a flag. What a shame, huh?

St. Louis

Itís pretty sad. Obviously the person making the cartoon for the Tuesday Opinion Page doesnít know anything about the people of the NRA. We are people. We are families with children, wives, husbands, mothers and fathers. To portray us as a bunch of vicious killers just ticks me right off. I wish theyíd get their facts straight.

Mt. Pleasant

(In the last week, we ran one editorial cartoon poking fun at the GOP, four at the NSA and two at Obama. It was the NRAís turn. -Ed.)

I read the Back to the Bricks article with pictures, but now Iím wondering why I read nothing about Rods in the Park. This was its 25th anniversary, and I saw nothing about the cars, the people, the winners or the sponsors.

I just want to say thank you to the handsome man in the big black truck with the cute white dog for stopping to pick up my grandson and I when we ran out of gas. We really appreciate it and didnít get your name, but bless you.
